Being a talented magician. Doing tricks. I just wanted to make that clear because there are real people who do not accept that these are magic tricks. They believe certain magicians have made a pact with the devil or whatever and are using real magic whenever they can't figure out a trick. They make UA-cam videos about it and everything. I just think that's hilarious. People will believe anything.
I saw them in person WAY back in the early 90s. That blew my mind. I played basketball and was still young. I didn't think anyone could pull a slight of hand on me. After the show I 100% believed some people can do actual magic. It was just totally mind blowing being a few feet away and still being fooled.
Are you kidding? Their cups and balls is my favorite magic trick. They're showing you everything, explaining it all, even using transparent cups but it doesn't matter. It all happens so fast you still have no idea what's happening. Magic takes practice and Penn and Teller are THE BEST. In my humble opinion. I'm not really the best judge of that. I know one card trick but I think it's a fair one. But despite that I think I can safely say that yes, their technique is absolutely incredibly slick and polished.
Teller will go down in history as the greatest slight of hand magician of all time. Having seen his magic up close and knowing how it’s done..you would actually still miss the sleights. Considering he’s 75 now too. Unbelievable!
If you go 0.25 speed at 4:32 you can actually see him getting a coin o_O but it appears like it simply spawns at his fingertip. Right after that he gets some more coins from his back left pocket, incredible slight of hand, its baffling
@@iansullivan9738 It must be, there are probably two or more segregated compartments on the backside of the tank that are shielded by a mirror; that's why it's shaped like that instead of just a bowl. As the trick progresses, he's probably reaching into the back side of the tank to get as many coins as he does. Explains the goldfish too, probably kept in their own section. Those weren't in his pocket.
In the aquarium is a shiny reflective foil. behind the foil is the fishes and a container with coins. when he puts is hand infront of it it looks like both hands are infront of it when in reality his back hand goes into the coin bag. at the end of the trick he destroys the barrior exposing the fishes. Nice trick
i follow most of that but could you explain how all the fish look like theyre being dropped in/ absolutely none of them are located at the bottom of the tank? (yes he couldve forced them to the top of the tank with hand motions but to pull that off in only 2 or 3 swipes is crazy) Also where did the barrier go?
Yeah pretty easy spot but Teller is usually the slight of hand man, plus their act works of letting the audience know/ easily work out how a basic trick is done in order to fool them later with a much bigger illusion. It's actually really clever as once you learn a few basic magic concepts its far more entertaining as your brain is constantly trying to figure out how those concepts have been adapted to complete much bigger illusions
The only magicians who can show you every move they’re making, explaining every step and still amaze you
Tellers slight of hand is always so beautiful.
I’m proud of myself I saw every slight of hand before they revealed it.

No. You didn't. And it's "sleight".

And "eyeball" could be spelled "Jaibål" but we live in the real world.
@@bonnieprincecharlie774 Imagine needing to argue with a stranger that badly.
This isn't sleight of hand, this is just Teller being a straight up wizard.

Don't let them hear you say that! 😅
I refuse to believe Teller wasn't some cockney pickpocket in an early life lmfao his hands are so slick
Teller always performs such beautiful magic. Fluid and visually stunning.
I know they're profesionals who have been doing this for 40 years, but I'm still amazed with how polished and slick their technique is.
Teller is mind blowing. I love his explanation for why he doesn't speak during his sets!

100% this! I saw them in person in the early 90s. I decided then, that some people can just plain do REAL magic. Lol!
The goldfish part wes magical!
These guys are incredible.

That’s because Teller is an actual wizard
He lifts some off the back of the chair, too. I'm thinking mirrors for the water tank.

@iansullivan9738 100% mirrors but still a great trick!
even with clear cups
it still took me a while to figure it out
That's the joke, that the supposed 'demonstration' version is done so fast and slick that it's still near impossible to follow,

It's funny how watching the clear cups i still don't know what was going on

That was a really good magic trick
1:03 loads the ball from his pocket underneath the cup
Amazing... just amazing
I wish there was more sound on teller’s performance
Now that's magic.
1:43 3:22 American POTATO! 🥔
It just blows my mind knowing that I still don't know how it's done even though they used clear cups...
I’m here because “The Coaching Habit” by Michael Bungay Stanier says to watch this 👌🏾👌🏾
Penn placed the giant ball on the left of the screen and it was perfectly visible 😅
Rest of the act was top notch
can you put a timestamp?

Which normally would not matter because the audience's attention is drawn to Teller 'vanishing' the little ball
You are better than him.
🤟second rule of magic
Its just too smooth, I literally feel Im there.
teller is the closest to merlin i have seen , to drop coins in a tank and have goldfish seemingly appear from his hands is completely incredible.
I think the fish were always in the tank. Just a lighting change revield them
Man, Carol did NOT want to be there.
the fishes are already in the tank!!!
They're sleight of hand is off the meter 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Who else still had to rewind when it was even clear cups 😂
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I tink they are really entertaining, but even I vould see how it works.
Mr. Fowler learned well from Howard Wolowitz
What happened to the finish with the American baseball?
I believe it was a potato (or some kind of produce first), then they switched to the baseball later on.
cool
Unbelievable
Penn at my cat. He was so hungry.
I was following pretty good with the foil balls when you got to the big foil ball in the middle cup. Then ya lost me when a fuckin potato appeared 😆
hexagonal tank is fishy
half of the fish sank too quickly too, rip
Idk I easily saw teller put that potatoe Under the cup. It wasn’t that quick
My dumbass was fooled even when they did it with transparent cups.
These guys must have been class clowns in high school!
Soooo...wheres the magic? 👀 all i see is misdirection and slight of hand 🤷🏼♂️
Then you sir, have lost your innocence and youth, and feel sorry for you.
